Anyone here have a car in the show? I will be there Saturday evening and hope to meet some of the local guys like Gregster and jd55f100. Click the link below for all the show information. World of Wheels - Birmingham, AL

JD and Gregster, were you able to put cars in World of Wheels? I will be there Sat. evening and look forward meeting you.

I joined the Yep forums and looked through some of the pictures. I have never been to any other shows besides WoW. I am very excited to get involved and even more so to be able to enter our truck! I live in just on the outskirts of T'town in Cottondale. It's about 8 miles from the UA. I am...

We have made it to most of the BJCC car shows for the last 4-5 years. A few years ago I saw this truck and it got me thinking about building something. Before that I thought all hot rods had to be shiny!

I saw you were from around here and read through your build. Your truck turned out great! For now we are going to knock the rust off and give it a blitz black paint job. If the engine runs we are keeping it and lowering the stock suspension. If not we have a 351w that needs to be rebuilt and...

Nasty looking C10 tow truck.

Welcome to RRR from Tuscaloosa, AL! What part of AL are you from? My dad and I are starting a project 1954 Ford F100.

ShoryForty on KB saved and posted more pictures of the pickup. Still no build thread. Click Here for more pictures.

I thought about that once but have not been able to locate a wrecker bed yet. Still playing with ideas though. I did find a 1 Ton Dualie frame from the same year that I could use to pull off the "Towmater" theme better.

I agree! Here are some more pictures of the GMC.

My dad called it an "Updraft Carb" so I think you are right. I thought it would look cool sitting on the back of this 1956 Chevy GMC flatbed. We may get it after the F100 is done.

Found this in a junkyard near my house. The engine looks really cool like some kind of flat head but I have no idea what it is. What do you guys think?

I'm on board the Rat Train from Tuscaloosa, AL. Just strated my first project a 54 Ford F100.

Thanks for the links. We want to keep the engine for now if we can make it run. Dad thinks it is missing a starter solenoid and the wiring is all rigged right now. I thought a book might help us work that out.

We plan to keep the original 223 Straight 6 (if it runs), media blast the body, and paint it a flat color. A mild suspension drop but no chop. Later we have a 351 Windsor that may find a new home under the hood! But I am sure that will require some donor suspension parts front and rear.

Wore Out Hooker That would be great! I spotted this on I459 this afternoon. The name was Wore Out Hooker! Anyone you know?

I also look forward to meeting some of the other Alabama builders I see posting here. :)

Pictures of how we found it. He kept it in the barn you see falling down in the background. Motor turns by hand but carb is stuck.

Hello from Tuscaloosa, AL! I am not your average hot rodder. In high school I took one semester of Auto Body and another for Welding but spent most of my time playing video games. Now I am a computer systems administrator for a national healthcare company. I grew up listening to my father’s...

I grew up listening to my father’s hot rod stories and attending car shows. Now we have a chance to stop talking and start building! Our first project together is a 1954 Ford F100 with the original 223 Straight 6 and 3 on the tree. We purchased it for $500 from a friend who started and...
